Neal Smith shared a proposal from the Petrochemical Open Systems Corp,
an energy industry consortium, for standard XML data representations of
Units of Measure.
This is indeed something that could/should be expressed as ebXML Core

http://lists.ebxml.org/archives/ebxml-core/200012/msg00034.html, where
there's a pointer to a GCA paper entitled "What XML Schema Designers
Need to Know About Measurement Units."
